Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
2.0

2.5 stars
This book makes me sure glad that I am not currently single and trying to date, with all of the use of technology. It seems so foreign.

I did appreciate the overview of all the different apps, websites, etc, how they are used, and which instances they shine. One great point he makes though is that even though it is called online dating, one should consider it online introduction. It seems so foreign to me that people have entire relationships via text, etc. and never actually meet face to face.

The other part I liked, was the analysis of dating customs in other parts of the world.

If I had been actually reading this book I would have stopped. When a book is by a comedian you expect it to be funny, and I didn’t find much of that in here
